when they are hand in hand. The
expense of the long haul is so great
that the profit of the producer or
manufacturer is diminished, and
oftcntimes annihilated in the trans.
portation OF the raw material to and
from the factory. 1t is thus desira.
bic that factories be established at
points more convenient to the con-
sumner. This effect of the law has
already made itself apparent in a

The great state Of Iowa, standing
among the first in the list of states,
has unsurpassed natural advantages
and resources that only require de-
velopment to make her equal to the
best. With all her requirements,
which have rightly won tor her the
title Of the Peerless State, she stands
even today upon the threshold Of
her greatest prosperity. For years
her fertile soil has returned unfailing
crops OF cereals and fruits, while her
manufacturing interests have con.
tinued to prosper and increase.
Temporarily the tide of interest has
directed further west and south, but
while those states have suffered from
those drawbacks which have dis
Outraged settlers, Iowa has been
making the record that will attract
the attention of the ever moving
tide of humanity, and secure the era
Of prosperity prophesicd.
~
Audubon county, in the list ofonc
hundred counties in the state, in her
natural resources, the fertility of the
soil and general possibilities, stands
higher even than the position secured
by her alphabetical order. Year
after year, il has produced bountiful
crops, SO that when other counties
Of the state have suffered from drouth
or other causes they have always
found reliet in tho abundance with
which Audubon county has been
blessed. The soil holds moisture to
remarkable degree, and even in
the dryest seasons the crops attain a
mammoth growth. Fruit and orna-
mental trees have a wonderful adap-
ton to the climate and are easily
cultivated, so that in many parts Of
the county the Improvement in that
direction is far advanced. There
are iew counties IN this peerless state
that can extend the inducements to
settlers that Audubon county offers.
With all her improvements, with all
the educational and religious advant-
ages, in convenient location to lowa's
metropolis, there are yet lands to be
secured at bargains that cannot fail
to be sufficient induccment to secure
a large addition to our best popula-
ton, if the matter is but properly
brought to the attention of seekers
after desirable lands. With such
boundless natural resources the
work of development and improve
ment undertaken by the association
is indeed inviting and promises rich
returns to all who settle and lend
their hand to tho noble work.

arrive in Audubon on his return
from the all too sunny south the
latter part Of this week, when he
will take his position in the in-feld.
and the Audubon base ball club will
resume business at the old stand.
Rev, l., s, Shcard and Mr.. Shu-
man, the latter nephew Of ex-
Senator Shuman of Illinois, were in
the city yesterday, the guests OF
Rev. L. J. Batten. The young
gentlemen are all theological stu
dents at the Northwestern Uni
versity, Chicago, and are improving
the summer vacation to replenish
their exchequer by the sale of Judge
Dcven's great historical work,
"Great Events Of the Greatest Cen.
tury."
The M. E. church of this place
has secured large tent and expect
to begin meetings in it next Mon
day or Tuesday, under the direction
OF the pastor, assisted by the Rev.
Vedder, Of Guthrie Center, and
other ministers of the Atlantic dis
trict. This tent is owned by the
Atlantic District inference, and
the intention is to hold meetings all
over the district. The tent will &C.
commodate nine hundred or one
thousand people. The meetings
will continue for two or three weeks,
services being held every evening.
That very desirable historical
work, the "Great Events OF the
Greatest Century" is divided into
departments that make 1t most ut
trnctive and makes reference easy.
That department which alone is
worth many times the price of the
work is "Supero Achievements Of
American Eloquence," containing
all the gems of oratory which made
Americans famous, and including
the five great speeches OF Henry
Ward Beecher in the chief cities Of
England IN the cause Of the Union.
"The Great Political Events" and
the "Fittecn Decisive Battles OF Our
Five Great Wars" are departments
which give the work surprising IN
terost and value as a work of history.
Fiction fails to produce more fas-
cinating work than this which re-
cords only historical facts.

II some great angel spake to me tonight,
In awful language of the unknown land,
Bidding me choose from treasure infinite,
From goodly gifts and glories in his hand,
The thing coveted, what would l take!
Fame's wreath of bays! the tickle worlds
esteem?
Nay, greenest bays may wave on brows that
ache
And worlds applauding passeth as
dream.
Should choose Love to fill my empty heart
With soft, strong sweetness, as IN days OF
old2
Nay, for Loves rapture hath an after-smart,
And on Loves rose the thorns are manifold.
Should l choose Life, with long-succeedlng
Nay, 'earth's long life is longer time for
would choose Work, and never-failing
To work without weak hinderance by the
way,
Without recurrence of the weary hour
When tired, tyrant Nature holds its sway
Over the busy brain and toiling hand
All! if an angel came to me tonight;
Speaking in language of the unknown land,
So would choose from treasure infinite.
But well know the blessed gift crave,
The tireless strength for never-endlng

Is not for this life. But beyond the grave

For believe there is better land,
Where will, and work and strength go

A Nassau Dogs Service.
LCor. New York Times.I

Nassau dogs are the most fearful and won
derful productions of nature They have a
wistful, hungry look about the eyes, and an
an-gone thin appearance about the TANKS
that gives them an air of feeding on wind,
and the air in dead calm. But we have a
dog here on the place that goes little ahead
Of anything in the dog line ever saw. He
belongs to the cook, and the boys say they
are never sure whether he is a snake or a
dog, ne is so thin. He is cur of the currest
kind, black and gray, but an affectionate
little rascal, and q good watch dog, for he
baTks at night on the smallest provocation.
Ills name is Jack.
You know down here sponges are as plenty
as apples at home. They wash dishes with
them, and use them for every imaginable
purpose, so there are always bits of old
sponge lying about. You might go out in
my back yard and pick up half bushel of
them in ten minutes. Well, Jack eats
sponges. Of course you will laugh at this:
but pledge my solemn word that went in
to the yard one day and saw Jack eating a
sponge, and he seemed to enjoy it No doubt
his idea was to Gram himself full of sponee
then go of somewhere and take big drink
or water, and thus swell himseI out to a re-
spectacle well-fed size. I have respected
Jack more ever since.

Looking Out for the Cars.

e @Au women are alike in their fear of the
cars" said an Illinois Central conductor.
"They carry their caution to absurd exc
tremes. That reminds me of a little story
Down in the southern part of the state we
have up at road crossings some of the old
fashioned signs, Look out for the cars when
the bell rings At one of the crossings the
other day two women came up, driving an
old horse hitched to buggy. They looked
all about and couldn't see any cars
but happened to read the sign. Stop,
said one, 4 hear bell, They both listened,
and sure enough they heard a bell
tinkling One of the women got out, and
amid considerable excitement took hold of
the horses bride. The other one frightened
her grip on the lines, set her jaws and pre-
pared for the worst. They looked anxiously
up the track for the train, but still couldn't
see it, though they could hear the bell
little palmer than before. They waited and
waited Five minutes passed. then ten, and
still no train. The old horse went to sleep,
while the women's nerves from long strain
ing threatened to throw them into Mysteries.
Nearer and nearer came the bell against
which the sign warned them, and so they
stood still In about a quarter of an hour an
old brindle COW came walking down the
pasture by the side of the track chewing
her cud and monotonously jingling her bell
One of the women cried from nervousness,
and the other one got mad at the railroad
company, and said they were nothing but
mean old mOnOpOlies, anyway"

THE DE YOUNG BROTHERS.
The Christmas Eve Enterprise of Two
MischievOus Printers.

MischievOus Printers.
jamestown IN. W Letter.
Yes: well remember the circumstance.
It occurred in the city of San Francisco on
Christmas Eve, in the year 1864, while citi-
zens were jubilant at places of public resort
exchanging friendly greetings, that an Extra
Alta-Bulletin was hawked by supernumerary
newsboys, screaming, --latest news! Fall of
Richmond! % cents" The extras were bought
as fast as people could hand out the
money. This Extra Alta Bulletin was mis-
takenly supposed to be issued from the daily
Alta California and daily Evening Bulletin
presses jointly Incidents of the capture of
the Confederacy were graphically and cate
gorically narrated. Champagne and other
fancy drinks were tossed off and down as
fast as served. The city Jubilee grew more
fast and furious for an hour and over before
representatives of the two daily papers-the
names of which were adroitly simulated so
as to deceive, but yet not actually counter
feited-could persuade the half-crazed null
titude that it had been grievOusly imposed
upon, misled, wickedIy deceived.
On Christmas morning Beriah Brown, the
accredited nephew of Old John Brown, edi-
tor Of The San Francisco Daily Democratic
Press, sent for your correspondent. Upon
entry into Mr.. Browns sanctum he was in
PRODUCED professionally to two coarse clad,
bright printer youths, brothers, in the pickers
Of the law as publishers of The Extra Alta
Bulletin. Mr.. Brown said they must be
pulled through These youths were Charles
and Michael De Young, very recent arrivals
from New Orleans, or so reputed.
Your correspondent was allowed the Gus
tody Of the youths. He waited upon the edi-
tors of The Alta and The Bulletin, with
whom he was upon very pleasant terms He
asked them if they could afford to make
serious matter of two mischievous young
printers pranks by drawing them into court
Your correspondent cautioned the daily
press corps if the matter was followed to be-
ware he did not get the laugh upon them,
and chat a laugh in San Francisco was con-
tagious, and quite as serious as a laugh in
Paris-something your correspondent would
regret and certainly would avoid if not
forced to it in defense Of the young Extra
Alta Bulletin authors and publishers. The
press yielded good-natured assent, and the
De Young brothers heard no more of their
Christmas eve enterprise. As a tail piece to
the foregoing, it might be mentioned that
about the most jubilant of the purchasers
and readers Of the 25-cent Extra was the gov
ernor Of California. He danced a rigadoon
which shook the Lick house.

behave like sponge. and offer the most
effective shield to the masonry.
The great success of this expedient has
led to some experiments which have been
conducted at Toulon, with view of util-

very extensive employment for the CO.

A Coffin Story From Boston.

A year ago last April a firm of man.
ufacturing undertakers in this vicinity
were given the most extraordinary
commission which they had ever re
ceived. They were told to make two
mahogany caskets OF a particular de
sign, to be above the usual size, and
in many parts fully six inches in thick
ness. They were cautioned not te
say q word to any one about what
they were doing. The caskets were
made as ordered. It required $7OC
worth OF mahogany to complete them
When they were ready to be shipped
from the factory photograph was
taken, and an inkling Of the affair
got out in this way. They were taken
from the factory in two two horse
wagons, each one making a heavy
load for pair OF horses to draw.
Outside cases of the same material
were also provided. The owner of the
caskets had them taken to his estate
and placed in a building which he had
erected on purpose. In that building
two of the best wood carvers tc
be obtained have worked on the cask.
cts steadily for the past Ia months
add they have noMhere near finished
the first one. They were carving into
the mahogany the most wonderful
and intricate designs which you could
imagine, all from sketches furnished
by eminent artists. There is a spider
in the centre oi q web, so delicats
that ones breath would almost seem
to move it; skulls. from which life-lik
serpants are crawling; owls, hour.
glasses and hundred other things
with symbolic meanings. At the rate
the carvers are progressing it will take
several years to finish their work. ]
should think $4,000 would be low
figure for both caskets. The insides
will contain silken hammocks, in
which the bodies will lie. The gentle.
man who is having the caskets made
has purchaced an entire knoll in one
OF the most beautiful of our GENE.
teries, and, it is said, will spend S125,.
600 on the tomb. He is a gentleman
connected with the medical aiprofession
having all Office in Boston. HIS wife,
who takes, if possible, more interest
in the caskets then himself, is said to
be the rand-danghter Of baron
